This is my go-to best brownie recipe with a rich chocolate flavor that my kids and husband LOVE! Its super easy to make and the brownies always come out soft and chewy with a crinkly top. Serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and your brownie lovers will be in heaven!

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup melted butter (unsalted butter)
  • 1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 eggs (room temperature eggs)
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup flour (all purpose)
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350F degrees and grease an 8 inch pan.
  • In a small saucepan, add the butter over medium low heat and cook until the butter comes to a slight simmer, about 5 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, stir the melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Then add in your dry ingredients, the cocoa, flour, salt, and baking powder.
  • Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the center is set. Check by placing a toothpick or knife into the center of the brownies. When you can pull the toothpick or knife out without brownie batter sticking they are done.
  • Allow to cool for 20-30 minutes before slicing and serving.
